  • Australian Gen-Y Spirituality: The Spirit of the Me-Generation


Abstract
This article represents a summary-discussion of research undertaken by The Salvation Army, Australia Eastern Territory, into Gen-Y spirituality in Australia, over the months December 2009-April 2010. The research sought to (1) listen to the voices of Gen-Y individuals and groups to hear what they have to say about themselves and their spiritual journeys; (2) come to a deeper understanding of Gen-Y life-experiences and those factors which have contributed to their increasing openness to spirituality but their increasing cynicism towards religion; & (3) identify possible areas to develop a nation-wide strategy to increase "connectedness" with a cynical but nevertheless curious Gen-Y generation.
